6 itemsAbout the Game
Play Friends for up to 8 player party games where your phone is the controller. Pick a mini-game, grab your phone, and jump straight into the action. No complicated setups, no extra controllers, just instant fun whether you're together on the couch or connecting from different cities.
Turn any screen to a party. Your TV, computer monitor, tablet, whatever works. One person hosts, everyone else joins with their phone in seconds. It's that simple.
The Games That Get Everyone Playing
Knockout
Push everyone off the platform and be the last one standing. Dodge attacks, grab power-ups, and send your friends flying into the void. Simple rules, total chaos, and someone always wants one more round.
Ship Shapes
Your phone turns into a drawing pad. Complete the patterns before time runs out or watch your ship sink. Sounds easy until the pressure kicks in and suddenly nobody remembers how to draw a circle.
AniMatch
Find and match the right character faster than everyone else. Pattern matching at crazy speeds where one wrong tap drops you to last place. Your reflexes better be ready.
Punchline
Write the funniest answer, vote for your favorites, laugh at how bad everyone's jokes are. Somehow the worst ones always win. That's what makes it perfect.
